Crime Life is a hard-hitting action game in which a young hopeful signs up to protect his homies from rival gangs in Grand Central City

Fight fire with fire; hurt crime with crime. When even the cops assigned to protect you are corrupt, the only way forward is to take the law into your own hands.

Tre, a typical inner-city kid from the wrong side of town, has just come of age in Grand Central City. Its Tres time to make a difference the only way he knows how, and the only way there is how, by serving the local gang.

Of course being in a gang is never easy, but in recent years gang life in Grand City Central has become even harder. Full-scale street battles have only recently gone back underground, with the balance of power shifting from Big Dogs Outlawz to ambitious newcomers Grand Central Justiss led by Kingpin. In order to make a difference, Tre must know how to work all the old rivalries and form new bonds of trust to act in his favour.

The ultimate aim of Crime Life: Gang Wars is to make Tre a gang leader so he can lead his own homies into battle. If Tre can prove himself tough enough for the job, taking on tagging, general vandalism and theft as part of his daily duties he can move on to bigger business and really start to turn things around. The action is primarily fighting, but in between there are cool cinematic cut scenes to fill in the story, with some dramatic turning points thrown in to catch you by surprise.
